In Mexico's match against Uruguay, El Tri was completely outplayed by the offense led by Edinson Cavani. Gerardo Martino decided to start with a line of 5 defensively, where there were three central defenders, including César Montes, Nestor Araujo and Jesús Angulo, while Jorge Sánchez and Gerardo Arteaga were on the wing.
This change in the defense had negative repercussions on the team's performance, as the defensive zone suffered a lot during the match. This situation was taken advantage of by the Charrúas, who did whatever they wanted with the Mexican team.
Matias Vecino opened the scoring and Edinson Cavani scored the other two goals for the Uruguayan team. The main problem for the Mexican team came in the second half, when Pellestri, Uruguay's left-winger, easily beat a defender who has not performed well for El Tri.
Jesús Angulo, a Tigres player, had a poor performance against Uruguay and it seems that Gerardo Martino will no longer consider him for the Qatar World Cup. The former Atlas player has also had difficulties adapting to Miguel Herrera's Tigres.
